In today’s era of rapidly advancing technology, the application of smart solutions to enhance security and convenience in everyday life has become increasingly popular. One outstanding solution is the fingerprint lock. Fingerprint locks not only offer convenience but also provide absolute security, thanks to fingerprint biometric technology. Join OSUNO in exploring fingerprint locks and this modern technology in greater detail!
What is Fingerprint Biometric Technology?
Biometric technology utilizes physical attributes or unique behavioral patterns, such as fingerprints, voice, and facial features, to identify individuals.
Fingerprint recognition is the most widely used biometric technology today. Fingerprints serve as a unique identifier, with modern information technology allowing for the capture and digital storage of millions of data points. Fingerprint recognition technology is considered a key element of the new technological revolution, as devices with fingerprint recognition capabilities are increasingly used for security and data storage.
How Fingerprint Biometric Technology Works
The working principle of fingerprint biometric technology is as follows: when a user places their finger on a fingerprint recognition device, it scans the fingerprint and compares the features against pre-stored data in the system. The data is digitized, and the system verifies whether the fingerprint matches, allowing for further actions if valid.
The fingerprint biometric system records the user’s fingerprint sample and encodes all data into a secure identification template.
There are two main methods for capturing fingerprint data with fingerprint biometric technology:
- Physical Imprint Method: A fingerprint shape is captured by rolling a finger in ink or another substance, then scanned and processed by a scanner.
- Direct Scanning Method: Using fingerprint scanning software or a dedicated fingerprint scanner to capture and recognize fingerprint patterns.
Are Fingerprints Duplicate?
According to scientific research, each person’s fingerprint is unique. The likelihood of duplicate fingerprints is nearly impossible, with a probability of approximately 1 in 64 billion.
Fingerprints are categorized into seven types: simple loop, double loop, arch, tented arch, central pocket loop, accidental loop, and whorl. Each type presents distinct details that remain unchanged from birth to death.
Not only are fingerprints unique between individuals, but each finger on the same hand also has a distinct fingerprint.
Even in cases of skin grafting on fingers, the fingerprint will eventually restore to its original pattern over time.
Biometric Technology in Fingerprint Door Locks
Fingerprint biometric technology is becoming increasingly common in fields that require high security. One of the major applications is in smart locking devices, specifically fingerprint locks.
Currently, most smart locks are equipped with optical fingerprint recognition and live-scan fingerprint recognition technologies:
Live-Scan Fingerprint Recognition: This is one of the most accurate and fast fingerprint verification technologies today, developed to replace less accurate optical fingerprint recognition. The technology includes two components:
- Live: Scans live fingerprints, meaning the device only recognizes a finger when detecting a living entity. Combining infrared scanning and dead cell removal ensures protection against advanced fingerprint duplication methods.
- Scan: This function captures a fingerprint by sliding a finger across the sensor, which records the complex structure of the fingerprint’s layers, processing and deeply encrypting the user’s fingerprint information.
Live-scan fingerprint recognition provides fast verification in less than 0.1 seconds, with high accuracy and anti-spoofing protection.
Outstanding Advantages of Fingerprint Locks
High Security
Thanks to fingerprint biometric technology, fingerprint locks achieve one of the highest levels of security among lock types, as fingerprints are unique and do not duplicate.
Operating principle of a fingerprint lock: When a user places their fingerprint on the lock’s recognition sensor, the device scans and analyzes the data, comparing it to the registered fingerprint stored in the system. If matched, the lock will open; if not, the lock will trigger a warning alert.
The premium OSUNO fingerprint lock is designed with fire resistance, a five-bolt locking mechanism meeting Japanese standards, and a “do not disturb” function activated by an interior thumb turn.
Fast Unlocking, Saving Time
Fingerprint locks have an extremely fast unlocking speed; simply place your finger on the scanner, and the lock opens instantly. When closing the door, it automatically locks itself.
In contrast, traditional locks require several steps, such as taking out the key and inserting it into the lock to open the door. With a fingerprint lock, all you need to do is place your finger on the scanner, and the door opens seamlessly.
Summary
With exceptional safety, convenience, and security features, fingerprint locks are quickly becoming the top choice for families. If you are seeking a modern security solution, OSUNO’s fingerprint locks are certainly worth considering.
